The Embroidered Baby Gown Class Coming in September!

Made of Swiss Batiste and embroidered with your embroidery machine, this baby gown will be a classic heirloom. Bullions grace the front of the gown from neck to hem and the top of the sleeves. No hand embroidery involved in this exclusive design by Kathy Drew. She will teach it on September 15. Come in to see the sample on display!

Monday morning Kathy taught beginning machine quilting. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn from a true master in the field of machine quilting. A little practice and you will be turning out the quilts. Kathy teaches you free motion techniques such as stippling, echo, outline and more.  Kristine is busy learning to free motion quilt on her new 830 with the  BERNINA Stitch Regulator foot. The “BSR” makes it easier to control your stitch length without using your foot control. However, regardless of the machine you have, you can learn to free motion quilt if you can drop your feed dogs. We will offer this class again!!!

Having fun ladies?? Monday afternoon Kathy taught machine mastery classes.  Our machine mastery classes are not only lots of learning, but lots of fun. There really isn’t much Kathy does not know about a BERNINA sewing machine. When you purchase a machine from Gina’s you will learn how to use it.
